Some people prefer the RDS over the Iron Sights, but I just don't like the RDS. Iron sights (in my opinion) on the gun is pretty decent, and a short burst to the torse and above with stopping power drops them.

It's used alot on Hardcore I find, I use it myself with Overkill, preferably with a sniper. Red dot on the G36C and M21 sniper. I guess no matter how good or bad a gun is, if your good, or at least comfortable with it then why not.

People like it because of how strong it is (I am pretty sure it is an assault version of a machine gun, the c being for compact). Once you learn to deal with the recoil, it usually becomes a favorite. Besides my AK-47, its the only gun I use that is not a machine gun.

G36c is a headshot monster - it's like its bullets are naturally attracted to the enemies head.

If you can't handle the recoil you're a shit player, there really isn't that much. It's alot stronger than the M4. It is really good at close range, 10 times better than the M16 and with steady aim, it's like an SMG.

The title of this thread should be more along the lines of 'How come there are still people who don't love the G36c?' Now that would be hard to answer because this gun is fantastic.
